So much of that work lives on through the Jane Goodall Institute, supporting animals, protecting nature, and empowering women and girls.

Remembering the legend that is Dr. Jane Goodall.

She left a lasting legacy as a voice for nature, animals, gender equality, and a better world for all of us. And she inspired so many to do the same.

We reflect on the injustice embedded in our history, recognize and honour survivors and those who did not come home from residential schools, and recommit to advancing reconciliation in all that we do. We are all connected.

Started the last game of the regular season off right, announcing $450k for Jays Care to give kids in greater need the chance to play ball. And the Jays are matching it with almost $1m more. Go Jays!

Tanya Talaga is an award-winning author, journalist, filmmaker, and Beaches-East York constituent. Great to catch up with her yesterday.

Her latest book The Knowing is an important read and a finalist for the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing.

Nathaniel in a blue suit and red tie stands beside Tanya Talaga in a black blouse. They smile warmly, with a framed architectural photo behind them.

Three people, including Tanya sit at a formal dining table in a warmly lit room. They are dressed in professional attire, smiling.
